This just popped up over the weekend. The folks over at Charleston Water Keeper had a change for their upcoming event at the Eye Level Art warehouse. The guys that they had booked for the entertainment, Party On Marz couldn’t make it. (Which kind of sucks because I checked out their site and they seemed like a pretty cool DJ duo. Hopefully, they will make it to the Chuck sometime in the near future.) And because of a recommendation from none other than Marcus Amaker, the folks from Charleston Water Keeper got in touch with me to drop some tunes at their event. The event should be pretty ill! Hit the jump for tickets to the event.
This is the set that Sonar played at the Project Runway Premiere Party at Caviar & Bananas on August, 20th 2009. The intro and the outro was DJ Scrunchyface Flatbroke. And we just had to leave that Boz Scaggs joint in there. It was too smooth not to. Here’s the link to it on iTunes.
Piccolo Spoleto needs your help going green with this through-the-decades themed block party, produced by the talented Office of Cultural Affairs interns. Entertainment will range from an 80’s cover band and break dancers to local performers playing today’s music and includes performances by Quiana Parler & Friends, Bueller, and Spaced Invaders. This event will also take you through the 80’s to today while highlighting how far we have come through the last few years environmentally. Step out on our “green carpet” dressed in your favorite 80’s or 90’s attire or get creative and make an outfit out of recycled materials. This free event promises to bring out the next generation of “green” Piccolo Spoleto enthusiasts to party through the decades into a “greener” tomorrow.

It’s the beginning of a new week and Kulture Klash 4 has come and passed. Kulture Klash this time around was a total blast. (Even if it did feel like a blur to me.) Our projections blew our minds away and more importantly blew the minds of all the people standing in line for beer and port-o-potties. I shouldn’t say it like that. In fact we had a huge number of people outside partying with us.
The numbers I really couldn’t say, but just taking a guess I’d say there was close to 800 at any given time. However, the best thing was everyone was getting down to the classics. Scruchyface Flatbroke took a commanding presence on the decks, and totally melted the crowds faces. It surprised me when he dropped William DeVaughn’s “Just Be Thankful For What You Got.” And the whole crowd was just grooving and grinding. Even though I was running video and fixing the technical stuff, (like plugging projectors back in after jerks unplugged them.) I got the crowd going with a side to side arm wave during Leon Haywood’s “I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You.” Which I think made both Scrunchyface Flatbroke and Birdflu get into the groove some more.
Speaking of that I forgot to mention Birdflu from the Bubbleguts Brothers was there with us cutting it up. If you ever get a chance you need to check him and his boy JectWon out. Strictly vinyl, crazy ass cutting, straight dope. It was great to have him up there to add his vinyl manipulation expertise. I’m sure you will see more of both crews preforming together in the near future.
I did not get a chance to check out much of the artwork. Okay, i didn’t get a chance to check out any of the artwork or see anything else that was going on besides what we were doing. But from what I have been reading and seeing, it looks like Kulture Klash 4 was a success.
Big thanks goes out to everyone who invited the Spaced Invaders out there, Gus, Scott, Ambergre, Suite Sole, (I heard we were getting paid in shoes this time around.) Big Hair and the rest of the Dub Island Crew, (Lord knows if it weren’t for you there would not have been any show at all.) To all the party goers that got down to the groove, especially to that kid who took a handful of stickers and said he’d put them up all over downtown.
All I can say is that it will take some work for the Spaced Invaders to out do themselves this time around. But hey we have already done that…just wait for the concert at the Customs House during Spoletto 09.
